These two middle-aged men wearing white cloaks have very special identities. One is Zheng Lu, the high priest of the Fire Priest Hall, and the other is Zhu Tao, the water priest.
The two of them are famous not only in the Yelin Empire, but also in other empires. They are definitely famous super figures. It is hard to imagine that such two big figures would be overwhelmed by such a late winter hunt.
In the past few days, no good news has come back from the hunting team. The two of them were already waiting impatiently. However, due to some ancient agreements, they could not take action directly, so they could only stay in Shinkari County and worry.
The reason why they did not take action directly lies in the agreement reached between the Yelin Empire and the Tianping Mountains a long time ago. Over the years, the Yelin Empire has actually quietly violated the original agreement, even if Zheng Lu
Appearing with Zhu Tao in this new hunting town is already a violation of the agreement.
The agreement made back then was that monsters that had reached the transformation stage in the Tianping Mountains were not allowed to attack humans outside the scope of the Tianping Mountains. At the same time, the Yelin Empire promised not to send strong men who had reached the god-refining stage into the Tianping Mountains area.
, and even more powerful ones in the God Refining Stage are not allowed to hunt monsters within this range.
In fact, the Tianping Mountains have declined greatly over the years, so the Yelin Empire dared to continuously send teams to hunt here, covertly and openly, and even built cities to facilitate the hunting of monsters.
These actions were actually a serious violation of the original agreement, but Ye Lin did not go out for hunting after all. However, for the Ye Lin Empire, after all, it still had to take into account the other two empires and the elixir mountain range. Therefore, they chose to hide it.
Try to keep the last fig leaf, that is, the strong men in the God Refining Stage like Zheng Lu and Zhu Tao will not directly attack the Monster Mountain Range.
Nowadays, hunting in late summer and late winter is not only a huge way to make profits for the Ye Lin Empire, but it is also a way for high-level officials to compete with each other.
Fortunately, it was hosted by another high priest before, and now it's just a bit ugly. If the last result was hosted by the Soul Sacrifice Hall, then these two people would have been unable to sit still for a long time.
At this moment, some subordinates suddenly arrived. They thought that good news had finally come, but who knew that news came from the sacrificial hall.
The two men's bodies leaned forward slightly, as if they were about to rush out. When they heard the source of the news, they both curled their lips and then lazily leaned back on the chairs again.
The young warrior who sent the message couldn't help but laugh secretly. His two high priests had been acting like this for the past few days. As long as there was news related to the hunting team, they would be very interested in it, and they would not bother to listen to anything else.
Listen to one more sentence.
It's just that the young man in front of him didn't dare to neglect the news in his hand, because the news mentioned several key names. He must pay absolute attention to such a message, even if it is a bunch of insignificant nonsense.
.
But before the young man could speak, Zheng Lu couldn't help but waved his hand and said: "You don't need to pay attention to the inquiries from the imperial capital. As for the cats, dogs and two monsters that have been caught now, if you have anything to report, I will tell you.
Let Third Sister laugh at you."
Zheng Lu, who had a fire attribute, was also the master of the Fire Priest Hall. He had a fiery temperament and acted in a fiery manner. He would send the young man away without asking a single question.
On the other hand, Zhu Tao, who was on the side, saw that the young man had a strange look on his face and stood hesitantly at the door, refusing to leave, so he asked: "What is the news? There should be no major events to be arranged in the Sacrifice Hall recently."
The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the temper of High Priest Zheng Lu. When he got the chance to speak, he immediately replied: "Because the Sacrifice Hall received a distress message. This distress letter was sent from Licheng in the east. The message
The superior proposed to ask the officiating master to come forward in person, but the officiating master is not in the imperial capital now, so I forwarded this letter for help here, hoping that the two adults will go to Licheng to have a look."
"What!"
At this time, Zheng Lu was already wondering whether there was something wrong with his ears. Xiao Licheng dared to speak so brazenly that he asked the chief priest to take action himself. Not to mention that he had never heard of such a thing in the hundreds of years he had been a high priest, even if it was
This has never happened in the history of Ye Lin.
Zhu Tao on the other side was not as angry as Zheng Lu. Although his heart was equally full of confusion. But even if the Lord of Li City didn't understand the rules, it was impossible for those in the Sacrifice Hall to not understand the rules as well, let alone this.
The distress letter is forwarded to New Hunting City.
So, before Zheng Lu's anger broke out, Zhu Tao continued to ask: "Which part of the sacrificial hall did the news come from? Is it the main hall of the sacrificial hall?"
In fact, the young man was not a fool. He was also full of doubts about the message in his hand, but after all, the matter was so important that he did not dare to neglect it. Now when he heard the question from the high priest Zhu Tao, he immediately replied: "No,
The news came from a priest in the outer hall of the sacrificial hall and the messenger hall."
"Humph, it's just a joke! I think this sacrificial hall should be reorganized. If the chief priest hears about this kind of thing, he will definitely scold us all again."
Zheng Lu slapped his hand heavily on the armrest, but he could no longer suppress his anger. The Communication Hall outside the Sacrifice Hall was mainly responsible for the communication in various small towns.
Now a priest actually transferred the news from the small city of Licheng here, and handed it over to his two high priests. This is like a family gate guard directly arranging the head of the family to do things. To outsiders, it sounds ridiculous.
But as the head of the family, he only feels that his face has been seriously damaged.
After all, Zhu Tao remained calm all the time. Before Zheng Lu could say anything more unpleasant, he immediately asked: "Although the news came from the priest, he should not have the authority. Who in the priest hall asked him
Sent the message."
The young man actually wanted to say what he had been saying, but was interrupted by Zheng Lu. At this time, he continued what he had said before: "It is said that this news came from the high priest Mo Wen, who requested to report it directly to the high priest Weng Ben, and finally Weng
He was transferred to us."
Hearing this situation, which also involved Weng Ben and Mo Wen, Zheng Lu and Zhu Tao glanced at each other and became quiet for a while. Both of their expressions did not look good at this time.
If Xing Kaixuan was personally responsible for the communication, he would never let the priest use the communication formation of the Communication Hall to communicate, but would use the communication formation of the main hall. At the same time, he would definitely let the priest Mo Wen of the Soul Sacrifice Palace participate in the communication.
One of them was hidden, and it was only stated that it was Weng Ben’s meaning.
After the news came out, Zheng Lu and Zhu Tao were very dissatisfied at first. Now that they heard that Mo Wen was involved, they had another suspicion at the same time.
Normally in the imperial capital, the Soul Sacrifice Hall would always overwhelm the Sacrifice Hall. Now it seems that the processing of this message was actually Mo Wen's request. Even a simple thing would make Zheng Lu and Zhu
Thao felt very unhappy.
Simply looking at the handling of this matter, the person who actually saw the whole thing most thoroughly was Fujikata, who now goes by the pseudonym "Fang Teng".
He not only judged the consequences of the priest reporting the news to the high priest Weng Ben, but also guessed that the junior priest would be responsible for reporting the news to Xingkari County afterwards. Especially the junior priest did not dare to run away
If you go to the main hall of the sacrificial hall to send a message, you must return to the messenger hall.
And this little priest, who was able to be related to so many big shots at the same time, would inevitably mention all of these during the interrogation process. He had no right and did not dare to conceal any of these matters.
.Another reason is that he wants to show off deliberately in front of his companions.
The development of things now is almost within Fang Teng's expectation. According to his judgment, Zheng Lu and Zhu Tao will not pay attention to this matter. In fact, the more they pay attention to it, the more they will come forward in person. This is not the judgment of the two.
The problem is not with strength, but with position. If the two of them go to Licheng obediently this time, it will be equivalent to completely bowing to the Soul Sacrifice Hall.
Especially the importance the two of them attached to this matter had nothing to do with the matter itself.
After a period of silence, Zhu Tao said: "Brother, since the news came from Weng Ben and Mo Wen, it is definitely impossible to ignore it in Licheng."
At this time, Zheng Lu was no longer as irritable as before. He nodded and said calmly: "We must take care of it, but you and I can't go."
"That's exactly what I thought." Zhu Tao immediately agreed.
Looking at the young man outside the door, Zheng Lu flashed his eyes and said: "In that case, let's send a group of manpower from Benxiao Pavilion. The hunting situation in late winter is not good now. We still need to keep some manpower, so let's send some manpower from Benxiao Pavilion.
We will select one-fifth of the batch of Benxiao Pavilion warriors we brought here."
This was consistent with Zhu Tao's idea, but after thinking about it, he tentatively said: "Is one-fifth too little? Since they took the initiative to ask for help, I believe there must be a lot of trouble over there, so why not
Add some more manpower?”
Shaking his head slowly, Zheng Lu said: "One-fifth is already a lot. If the hunting team still has no harvest, by that time, people will need to be sent deep into the inner areas of the Tianping Mountains. At that time, they will need to use
This is the power of Benxiao Pavilion."
After weighing it for a while, Zhu Tao nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way to go. After all, hunting in late winter is also very important to the current empire, and the overall situation cannot be ruined because of some trivial matters."
The two high priests did not choose to take action, and did not even plan to send more powerful men. In their opinion, there might be something going on in Licheng, but the timing was too coincidental, and Mo Wen had to intervene in this matter.
This is something that should not be the concern of the Soul Sacrifice Hall.
This gave the two high priests Zheng Lu and Zhu Tao a hint of conspiracy. They both felt that Mo Wen deliberately wanted the late-winter hunting hosted by them to turn into a big joke. This was a sacrificial ritual.
A means for the Soul Palace to attack the Sacrifice Palace.
The order issued by the two high priests Zheng Lu and Zhu Tao was quickly passed down without any hesitation. The team of nearly 200 warriors immediately set off for Licheng upon receiving the order.
At this time, Boka, who was looking forward to it, never expected that his letter for help would actually trigger an internal battle in the Yelin Empire.
